< Psalms 35 >
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight thou against them that fight against me.
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to dishonour that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
May they be ashamed and they may be humiliated [those who] seek life my may they be turned back backwards and may they be abashed [those who] plot harm my.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the LORD driving [them] on.
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.
For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: with destruction let him fall therein.
May it come to him destruction [which] not he knows and net his which he hid may it catch him in destruction may he fall in it.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
All bones my - they will say O Yahweh who? [is] like you [one who] delivers a poor [person] from a person [too] strong for him and [the] poor and [the] needy from [one who] robs him.
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereaving of my soul.
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
And I - when were sick they clothing my [was] sackcloth I humbled with fasting self my and prayer my to bosom my it returned.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.
Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
15 But when I halted they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
And at stumbling my they rejoiced and they gathered they gathered on me smitten [people] and not I knew they tore and not they were still.
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
22 Thou hast seen it, O LORD; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
You have seen O Yahweh may not you be silent O Lord may not you be distant from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.
26 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [the] [people] joyful of distress my may they be clothed shame and ignominy who magnify themselves on me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, The LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
May they shout for joy and they may rejoice [the] [people] desirous of righteousness my and may they say continually may he be great Yahweh desiring [the] welfare of servant his.
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise all the day long.
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
